The pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus in the trauma patient and potential future therapies
RT Villavicencio, MJ Wall Jr - The American journal of surgery, 1996 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently isolated pathogen in the
trauma patient and uses multiple virulent factors to cause infection. At the cellular level,
infection begins with the prokaryotic bacterial cell manipulating the eukaryotic host cell
through its virulent factors. Researching this cellular interaction by describing the
mechanisms of actions of various virulent factors may lead to new preventive therapies
which will make the trauma patient less susceptible to S aureus infections. METHODS …
